Not exactly the same thing in any of these three but there seems to be an underlying principle- About two thirds of the way through, the singers start deleting parts of the lyrics to create rhythmic interest. Are the other examples? Is there a name for this practice?

i just learned that this tune, written by gilberto gil and caetano veloso, is an example of concrete poetry, i.e. when you write the lyrics out, the shape of the words resembles a bat:

and that's why it sounds like the syllables are being chopped off
